TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CQNCERN: I i p "l p Be it known that I, JoNAs LAMPHEAR, of Panama, in the county of Chatauqua, and State of New Yer-k,"` 'have invented a new and useful improvement in Washing-Machine; and I do herebydeclare that Ithe following@ is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the, arti tomake andiuse the@` same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification, iin whichi l l i Figure, 1 is a longitudinal section of my improved washing-machine,taken throughthelline a saftig` Figure 2 is a cross-section of the same, taken through the line y y, iig. 1.

Figure 3 is a side `"iew of the same, partly in section, through the line z z, {ig-2.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts. 4 i p p i l p p p My invention consistsof a washing-machine formed by the combination of the ilutedtrllers and plainfe'ed-` t i roller with each other and with the frame of the machine, as hereinafter more fully described, `z ,i t p A is, the frame of the machine, and should be of about the length and `breadth of anlordlnary `wash-hdardai` i x B is the lowerroller, the face of which is luted, and the journals of V which revolve inlbearingsiin` thesidesgat Q and as, of the frame, A C is a luted roller, the-journals of which revolve in slots formed in `the,` sides, aliandl a2, of the frame, A, as shownin iig. `3. The roller C is'enabled to adjust itself to-the varyinglthickness of the cldthes passing between-the rollers B and C by the vupper half, D, of the journal-bozresof tlielrciiller()lbeing` p made movable, and being held to its place against the journals of the said rollen C-by coiled wirespiingsRone of which is shown in fig. 3, which are placed in cavitiesformed in the sides al and `a2 of lthe franie`rA,'andlpress v against the said movable part D of the said journal-boxes. The end'oi` one of theijournalsoftheroller` prof jects beyond the side of the frame A, and to it is attached the crank F, by whiehthe` machindis operated.` HG, i i are supports attached to the edges of the sides of the frame A, directly above the rollers B andCto the upper` i p ends of which are pivoted the ar'ms H at or near their-middle parts. 'lo the lowerends ofzthefaimsiI-I is"piviited a feed-roller, I. The surface of this roller is smooth, and it is designed to feed `the clothes `beilig washed for-f" ward to the rollers B and C, and at the same time to prevent them from coming in Contact with theloweriside o'ff y the roller B Vand interfering with its operation. J is a fluted roller pivoted to` thelnpper ends of tlliefarlnsHhmd y i `I which by its own weight is pressed down upon the roller C, and revolves withvitQfIn` `using machineQit isl placed in the wash-tub inthe manner of an ordinary wash-board, with the end as` downward. Thecl'othes `to be,` ,p ,t washed are then spread over the roller I and drawn forward so that they may be taken hold ofbythe rollers B t and C. By turning the crank F they are drawn through between the said rollers B and` till they have passedzf almost through; then by reversing the motion of the crank they are drawn back, and areLthenpaSsAed andfi y, x forth till thoroughly washed; or, if desired, they may be passed at the same timef between the three' rollers Bg f p t t C, and J. If the roller does not by its own weight give suilicient pressure the-pressure may he`increaseidby` bearing down with the ,hand upon the upper end of the arms H. 4 l i l t Having thus described my invention, I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patentt The vibrating-frame H, provided with onef or more rollers, to operate in combination with the rollersfB C, substantially as and for the purposesset forth.
